From the depths of my heart, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who took the time to leave heartfelt comments and send soul stirring messages. Your words were a gentle breeze on a tragic moment, speaking life into a situation that had left me and my family breathless. You reminded me that Salathia , my beloved realtor , would still want me to celebrate this milestone, despite her tragic passing. Your confirmation gave me the strength to keep moving forward.
I must confess, there was one message that struck a chord deep within me: ‘With new territory comes new obstacles and opposition.’ Those words resonated with me, reminding me that growth and progress often require perseverance and courage. I needed to hear that, especially during a time when I felt overwhelmed by grief and guilt.
For seven long months, I carried the weight of Salathia’s devastating story, feeling like I was drowning in a sea of sadness. Her murder during our first home building process left us reeling, making it impossible for me ir my family to fully celebrate one of the biggest accomplishments of our lives. But you, my friends those ’s 🐝, helped me find a way to heal, to process my emotions, and to rediscover my joy.🥹❤️I know that social media can sometimes be a breeding ground for negativity, but I want to acknowledge the profound positive impact it can have as well. Your kindness, empathy, and support have been a testament to the power of community and connection.
On the day of my closing, I stood alone with my baby. My husband and family were with me in spirit, cheering me on from afar. They were busy with work and school, with the last-minute closing date throw on us. But they were still celebrating with me in their own way. I felt a surge of pride and gratitude as my family’s “Big Momma” holding down the fort. With the beautiful Salathia right beside me just a smiling. 😂
